The Bo Diddley Model from Rock ‘n’ Roll KING—a guitar that breaks all the rules and goes square!

With this, you’ll master the jungle beat!

This is the G6138 Bo Diddley Model, a strictly limited-edition guitar.

The vivid red finish and dazzling gold hardware, combined with double binding, give the body a striking, bold presence.

Compared to standard humbuckers like those found on Gibson guitars, this model delivers a distinctive sound with clear high frequencies and plenty of punch.

It produces a crisp, open tone with plenty of twang.

Highly recommended not only for those who’ve been searching for this specific model, but also for anyone looking for a guitar with real character!

From the manufacturer’s website:

For over 50 years, Bo Diddley has continued to captivate fans with his exceptional technique, overwhelming showmanship, and unconventional guitars. The G6138 is a faithful reproduction of that famous rectangular guitar that Gretsch built exclusively for him in 1958. Key features include an eye-catching semi-hollow body, a 3-piece locked maple neck, an ebony fingerboard with dot pearl inlays, a 1957-style headstock, dual high-sensitivity Filter’Tron humbucker pickups, an Adjust-O-Matic bridge, a “G”-cutout tailpiece, gold hardware, and a special Bo Diddley signature truss rod cover.
